Andy Ashley, By now you probablyh have graduated and are no longer interested
in the old
Couch family cemetery plots of Will and Mary
Couch. I have at least two
Williams in
Orange County, NC (
Duke may have been in
Orange County at one time).
One William was b Hillsborough, NC in 1758 and d 28, Nov 1805. This William fought in Rev. War under Maj Charles
Robertson. I do not have his wife's name but my records say he may have married dau of Edward Stone.
If you are still interested I have a few more tidbits. It seems to me I ran accross a reference to an old
Couch family cemetery on the UNC-Chapel Hill
Campus. But surely
Duke students would not grace the UNC campus even for antiquity.
Let me know if you want me to search further.
Bob
Couch (retired AUBURN UNIVERSITY)
Another William was b Mary 26, 1782.
